Does a curved monitor make sense for both gaming and playing GTA V in SA?

The MSI MAG 274F at R3,006 suits players who want a fast 200Hz gaming monitor for responsive everyday gaming without jumping to a premium spend. A curved screen can feel more wrapped around your field of view, but for this use-case the bigger win is still refresh rate, size, and how cleanly the panel fits your desk.

Best picks for smooth play

For GTA V, the ViewSonic VX2779A at R2,350 is the sharp value pick if high motion clarity matters most, because its 240Hz refresh rate gives you extra headroom for fast driving, camera swings, and multiplayer movement. It makes sense when your PC can push strong frame rates and you want the screen to keep up.

The AOC 27in QHD 200Hz at R3,200 is the better fit when you want more desktop detail as well as fast gaming. Its QHD resolution gives menus, maps, browser tabs, and game visuals more room than a basic 1080p setup, while the 200Hz refresh rate still keeps it firmly gaming-focused.

SA gaming room fit

On a local gaming room desk, the Dell SE2726H at R1,797 is the practical low-cost 27-inch option with 144Hz refresh, especially if the same screen is used for schoolwork, streaming, and evening sessions. If desk depth is tight, the Dahua LM25 at R1,850 keeps the spend low while still offering 200Hz for smoother motion.
